The document compares and contrasts the project management tools Basecamp and ManyMoon. It notes that ManyMoon integrates well with Google Apps, has a social interface similar to Facebook, and was acquired by Salesforce in February. While it lacks some features of Basecamp like a mobile app and free plan, ManyMoon offers tight Google integration, large file storage, and easy user and project creation directly in Gmail.
